Brennecke is my new hero.

This art style... I like. More and more with each release.

 

I like how the gun looks, knowing its single shot and yet it looks like it packs a wallop!

Great, it even has a visible nipple bulge. How 'typical' in a bad way. I guess guys really need their boob plate, huh. (Yes, I know plenty of guys aren't into that either.)

 

Well, at least her midriff isn't visible.

Brennecke told me he saw the first screenshot of the game the day we spoke. Even he was impressed. “It looks amazing.”

 

Here's hoping we'll see that soon

 

Not a big fan of the concept art though, I must say I've liked the previous better.

Ohiboobplate. Long time no see.

 

And here I hoped at least some artists can avoid fantasy-art brainwashing, but alas, they continue to fail their Will-check when it comes to armor plausibility.

I loved the dwarven ranger. But IMHO, this and Edair are pretty meh.

Yea. I'm not really sure about this concept art either...

I like em' very much. The hair and faces especially. Actually more than the Dwarven Ranger

although inb4 cries about boob-plate

Why? Sometimes it occurs that women have boobs, you know......

boob plate or no, artistic liberty.

It's a useless discussion.

Personally I prefer the dwarf ranger, but it's still nicely done.

Im curious about whats the issue with the above version of "boobplate". Female breasts extend out from the body (some more than others) and would require an accommodating suit of plate mail to fit properly, no? Or is the general consensus that regardless of breast size, all plate mail should be flat and just pancake the breasts?

Interesting.

 

I do have one hope for the game (after hearing that it's about life and death), and that is that it doesn't end up being too metaphysical and preachy or too weird (the last thing I want is a NGE like mindf***k). And that it doesn't demistify souls and afterlife.

It's the consensus of armorers that because breastplates are already layered on top of significant padding and because breastplates are designed to slide blows cleanly away from vital areas, that designing a steel breastplate to follow the contours of breasts is unnecessary and counterproductive.

I think it would prolly be better to ask the women what they would actually prefer. And like Gfted1 said, some ladies could have a bit more filling up there that would make it extremely uncomfortable I think.

Will ask the next women in full plate armor I run in to.

Nice art. There is something familiar in her face and in her eyes. Meredith, you? Ok, I'm kidding. A little bit.

 

Dwarven ranger is drawn in another style. I would like portraits like dwarven ranger. But I would like UI paperdoll like Cadegund and Edair.

I read a good article about it by an actual armorer here: http://madartlab.com/2011/12/14/fantasy-armor-and-lady-bits/

 

One reason is that there's actually quite a bit of padding worn under armor, so there's more room than you think inside.

I Like it. The boob plate I'm indifferent to, but I like the details; gun, cowl, gauntlets. Like Edair, its a solid, realistic foundation to build from. Good stuff

 

Oh, and I like the expression she has, a bit snarky

By the way, it's not only boobplate, but what's beneath it seems wrong too. Is that supposed to be a mail? Because mail... does't really look like that, it seems she rather has sort of batman-rubber like undersuit than a mail.

*headdesk*

At least she is wearing plate that covers, I am only ever bothered when they happen to be metal bikinis.

If someone's uncomfortable on the chest area, you would probably magnify the chest part rather than giving it the shape of female breasts. Not to mention her breasts would have to be as large as watermelons.

To keep their incesties inside their bodies, probably. Which means designing a plate to deflect blows, not to lead them right in the chest.

 

But I am a fencing weeaboo, so forgive my ramble.

Liked that link Shardbearer. Was a good read.
